I love speedruns like this, that start out fairly simple so you can just appreciate how skilled and practiced the runner is. And then you hit that first "I didn't know you could do that" moment as you watch whole minutes+ of content get skipped.
So the speedrun Canon is you go to the ship, find it's exploding anyway so you leave, you jack the guys pelican, quite possibly resulting in his capture, then when it's time to free him you just run away, leaving him to escape and fight escharum on his own (tough lad) before taking his pelican back from you.
not a month in and i feel the run is more technical than some classic speedruns like Mario Sunshine... i'm in awe. the 30-minute barrier is in shambles.
Massive kudos to you comrade, I’m no speed runner but I’ve seen lads go decades and improve just 30s. You knocked off 2 whole minutes in two days. Godspeed to you, in the most literal sense
7:42 took me 25 attempts to manage this one. A few seconds could be gained if not being projected as high as possible. ie. not reaching the "return to battelfield" height but still going high enough to get to the platform, or a bit below and finish with the grapple
That was fantastic! It blows my mind that in 2021 developers insist on having unskippable cutscenes and stuff like that. Having played the campaign many times, it got annoying pretty fast having to sit through power up and FOB explanations.
I love watching good speed runs of games I enjoyed playing it's so crazy and funny to see the exploits and speed strategies. Well done man and good time the fastest I found after searching TH-cam quickly
how does the part at 23:08 work? you just have to take a small amount of damage from the laser? and yes, I know there are faster strats but I'm trying to do it this way
This used to give you invincibility, but it seems like it was patched because I've been unable to get it to work since I did my LASO a few weeks ago. Edit: I can confirm it does still work, you just need to end game and load the save.
the laser gives him invincibility for one mission which lets him pass through kill barriers, and because being in a flying vehicle removes most solid invisible barriers, he can fly to the house of reckoning
when you get out of the pelican get the hammer then go and get the cutscene leave the game re join the game (NOW IMPORTENT) go and touch the laser that is shotting down and then go back to the pelican and leave (no you wont get killed)
@@unicornman1441 yeah I did all that... Touched the laser and confirmed invulnerable, but I get to a spot flying over the abyss that the pelican can't move and I die anyways like I hit a death barrier or something. Wasn't sure if you needed to follow an exact route or what
@@mdHugh no I just keep going straight and the plane will go lower then it just somehow it goes through and the I go up and just repeat. I’m just stuck on 25:48 I can’t go through the wall
@@mdHugh same thing happens to me after confirming invul. I tried following the exact route, but end up dying in one spot or another before the map transition to the next area. Might have to ask on the discord.
@@thefallingsorrow I had another speed runner comment asking if I tested invulnerability with my own grenade. He was having some issues with dying at the invis barriers and I think it's tied somehow to getting the invulnerability
The shorter the speedrun lasts the more the banished become the vanished.
More like the demon become the apparition
Ha...ha... you said words that rhyme. I press pretty button now
The shorter the speedrun, the better this game looks
11:13 chief speedruns across the room
grunt: anybody else heard that?
Insanity
Yo it's Mint Blitz himself! You're content is amazing and can't wait to see you do stuff like this!
The man the myth
I've watched the whole thing but the 28:15 segment Is SKETCHY you can't cut Pieces of a run. This aint legit.
@@rosebud2168 Yeah I saw that too and had a big ol "?" About that.....
11:13 chief speedruns across the room

“Chief, whatever you’re planning to do, do it fast!”
“Working on it.”
“Wait you were here 6 minutes ago”

Those marines are stronger nowadays. I bet Escharon didnt last 2 minutes agains him.
Looking forward to the TerminalMontage version of this.
I remember a great animation of the breath of the wild speedrun, hopefully someone makes one for this
@@ChezzyKnytt there's meet the speedrun freeman for half life 2, something similar for halo would be magnificent.
@@trempton4106 he's not a marine he's a civilian
“chief, whatever you’re trying to do. do it fast.”
12:31
Jackal: "Aim for head. Shoot head!"
Chief: "I was gonna let you go, homie, but if you insist..."
You're blasting through these WRs! Nice!
The Weapon: ''We need to figure out a way to turn on this gravity lift.''
Chief already halfway to the top: ''Grapple goes Ca-thunk!''
he actually just removed the Escharum fight from the run entirely lol

Echo 216: 90 seconds until recharge.
Chief: You have 7 seconds.
2:47 Aight, I'mma head out.
Echo-216: "90 seconds until full charge."
Chief: "I'm already here."
11:20 - Chief - I don't need an elevator.
4:10 *insane* grapple skills 🤩
''Hey babe, can i visit you before you go to work?"
"But you live 72 km' s away?!"
"See you in 5 minutes"
not a month in and i feel the run is more technical than some classic speedruns like Mario Sunshine...
i'm in awe. the 30-minute barrier is in shambles.
This man is constantly breaking the WR, Damn
This is insane because I’m still not done the campaign and I’ve been playing it on and off on heroic.
“BLADEMASTER, SHOW HIM WHY...GAH DAMN!!!”
POV: you have 30 minutes before school starts
Your movement is so tight it's hard for my brain to comprehend.
new Spiderman game looks great
I'm over here watching in complete awe. My mind is so fkn blown right now lol
Massive kudos to you comrade, I’m no speed runner but I’ve seen lads go decades and improve just 30s. You knocked off 2 whole minutes in two days. Godspeed to you, in the most literal sense
Nice run. lol at spawning in the pelican after dig.
yo wtf, it's Mono. Hello! The achievement named after you is one of my proudest gaming accomplishments!
i swear sub 30 requires practically no deaths
It's like the classic Mario bros games where you go over the stages and enter warpzones.
You are very underrated, you deserve a lot more credit for the work you put into this game. New sub!
And if it's not legit is he still underrated?
@@otallono why would you think it’s not legit?
"whatever you're about to do, do it fast" "give me 33 minutes"

I’ve seen a couple runs where they do get perfect height and don’t overshoot. He may have just been unlucky.
@@khajiitthecat1462 the timing is already so precise to make a huge jump!
The tacmap skip is beautiful LOL, I always hate going through it
This guy is book accurate Master Chief
This is what Spartans can do IRL soo this is LORE ACCURATE.
Yes. Completely break space time by punching a door three times.
Are Spartans exactly like Spiderman in lore?
All the other bosses get squashed like bugs, Escharum just gets fucked with
these speed runs are becoming as fast as someone explaining the story of halo infinite
Chief going throught time and space to finish the fight: Sorry but i just don't have the *time* i'm in a HURRY
When he drove the pelican I was like. OK
Well that was insane, loved every second of it
The grapple shot is satisfaction.
Halo Infinite: No Way Home
Somebody get IGN on the phone. I need to see the devs react to this.
That was fantastic! It blows my mind that in 2021 developers insist on having unskippable cutscenes and stuff like that.

Man I am getting titanfall 2 PTSD from that grapple hook and slide
I love watching good speed runs of games I enjoyed playing it's so crazy and funny to see the exploits and speed strategies. Well done man and good time the fastest I found after searching TH-cam quickly
The more broken this game gets the more I love it.
I got a question are you allowed to use skulls if so couldn't you have used down to give you no cooldown on grapple
Can't wait for the sub 30
This is so fun to watch!!
21:00 😂 that was faster than her explanations on new abilities and FOBs.
7:21 Chief sneezed
the house of reckoning is just like a cruelty squad run
the game has to load because of his speed hahaha
16:43 how to skip the long explanation here?
Damage yourself most of the way with the coil. Die to the DoT plasma on the ground during the cutscene. Quit and restart.
@@ellowell8160 ok I did it thanks! with the coil vertical it doesn't kill you but it does when horizontal
Not even 1000 subs bruh you about to blow up, this is unreal
Did you edit out the first few cutscenes after starting the game or did you perform a skip?
Lore accurate Master Chief
12:55 - NICE WORK WITH THE POWER SEED
Lore accurate master chief
how does the part at 23:08 work? you just have to take a small amount of damage from the laser? and yes, I know there are faster strats but I'm trying to do it this way
This used to give you invincibility, but it seems like it was patched because I've been unable to get it to work since I did my LASO a few weeks ago.

Waiting for the elevator made me laugh
can someone explain what is happening at 15:26 ?
He's grabbing the hidden Scorpion Tank gun, then he uses it here & there to one shot some enemies.
Pog
23:02 respawned stuck in the Pelican, I thought: "this is the end"
Can i get the under 8 hr achievement with this?
A new nice world record.
I'm disappointed that there wasn't secret dialogue for when you skip the grav lift
At this rate someone's gonna get sub 30 within the week
What’s the weapon you’re using other than the Sentinel Beam during the Harbinger fight? Sounds like a round from the Scorpion lol
That's actually because it is he got it from the turret after the tremonius fight on top of the downed ship
Wow that was increadible!!
The way that Jen sounds like a child when voicing the weapon and makes her voice shakey for Halsey really irks me lol
It looks like there's a weird cut at 13:34. What's that all about?
Looks like skippable cutscene started & he skipped super quick.
Man, how do you get fast load times? I have Infinite multiplayer on an SSD but it still loads slow as hell.
How does the Excavation skip work? Are you hitting a trigger when you touch the laser that disables the invisible wall blocking House of Reckoning?
the laser gives him invincibility for one mission which lets him pass through kill barriers, and because being in a flying vehicle removes most solid invisible barriers, he can fly to the house of reckoning
@@airconditioningunit9777 I see, so when he passes through the loading screen into HoR his invincibility gets disabled
@@rebootxd6012 yep
What is the scorpion tank doing in the beginning when you first go outside.???
Cant u coil launch on the first elevator in at 2:34?
Pretty sure door won’t open without the elevator
@@1337soup ah ok
anybody know how to avoid automatically dying in the pelican at 24:05? What causes the death?

Master chief in the books be like
Lore accurate Chief be like...
Imagine seeing master Chief flying past you
Happy that he didn't stop to kill you
Good shit man!
Do you think sub30 is possible??
To me it seems like it would be
honestly last mission i used these tricks to help me get through the maze of fuckers on legendary lol
Chief in the books be like
With skulls the speedrun gets cut in half
why the game short like that
Cutscenes are longer than the gameplay speedrun xD.
I feel like the only reason he doesn’t use the tank gun for everything is cuz it’ll get banned in the category if he does lmao
Very nice work bro!
Does anyone know how to clip out of the map with the ground pound? I’m having trouble with it.
Speedrun legendary and see how long it takes
20:42 - Outta my way bro, my beef ain't with you!
Spartans in the lore:
This man a pathfinder main, I know it
Well I’ll see you guys at sub 30
YOU CAN DRIVE A PELICAN DROPSHIP!?
THIS GUY IS A GOD
when you go so far the game can barely catch up loading lol
what on gods green earth happened at 2:48
